Artist: The Decemberists Album: The King Is Dead Song: Don't Carry It All Tabbed by: dpowens@gmail.com INTRO / VERSE G Em D Here we come to a turning of the season G Em D Witness to the arc towards the sun G Em D A neighbor's blessed burden, within reason G Em D C Becomes a burden borne of all in one, and nobody, nobody knows CHORUS C G Let the yoke fall from our shoulders C Em Don't carry it all, don't carry it all C G We are all our hands and holders Bm C Beneath this bold and brilliant sun G Em D This I swear to all G Em D A monument to build beneath the arbors G Em D Upon a cliff that towers towards the trees G Em D Let every vessel pitching hard to starboard G Em D C Lay its head on summer's freckled knees and nobody, nobody knows C G Let the yoke fall from our shoulders C Em Don't carry it all, don't carry it all C G We are all our hands and holders Bm C Beneath this bold and brilliant sun G Em D This I swear to all, This I swear to all G Em D BRIDGE Bm C Bear a wreath of trillium and ivy Bm Em Lay it upon the body of a boy Bm C Lazy will the love come from its hiding Am D To return this quiet searcher to the soil G Em D So raise a glass to turnings of the season G Em D And watch it as it arcs towards the sun G Em D And you must bear your neighbors' burden within reason G Em D C And your labors will be borne when all is done, and nobody, nobody knows C G Let the yoke fall from our shoulders C Em Don't carry it all, don't carry it all C G We are all our hands and holders Bm C Beneath this bold and brilliant sun G Em D This I swear to all, This I swear to all G Em D This I swear to all.
